Tottenham fans will be hoping that there is a bit of movement in terms of incomings at the club before the January transfer window draws to a conclusion.
A very quiet month for all Premier League clubs so far with very little money available due to the coronavirus pandemic limiting finances over the past 12 months, any sides wanting to complete any remaining deals have until 11pm on Monday, February 1 to do so.
Although no fresh faces have come in through the door at Tottenham this month, players have departed - both on loan and permanently - since the window opened at the turn of the year.
Youngsters Jubril Okedina, Jack Clarke, Harvey White and Brandon Austin have all headed out on loan so far, with Anthony Georgiou joining AEL Limassol on a permanent deal on Thursday.
Given that the club now have just over a week to finalise their business for the rest of the season, there could still be time for a few more outgoings in north London.
As disappointing as it would be for some if Spurs don't sign anyone, the January market was always going to be more about players heading out of door rather than signing on at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium due to a lack of funds and also the club's issues in terms of non-homegrown players.
Only able to name a maximum of 17 foreign players in both their Premier League and Europa League squads, the fact the rules differ in both competitions makes things rather difficult for Jose Mourinho and Spurs.
Three over the limit in the Europa League as Paulo Gazzaniga, Joe Rodon and Gedson Fernandes unfortunately missed out on selection, Spurs only have 16 non-homegrown players in their Premier League squad.
Welsh duo Rodon and Ben Davies are classed as homegrown players by the Premier League but not by UEFA because of their academy years in Wales, with Matt Doherty also in the same boat after starting his youth career in Ireland.
Gedson is also not included in the list as he can be registered as part of the the U21 players due to his age.
Even though the players on the U21 list are not part of the club's main 25-man squad, the likes of Japhet Tanganga, Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett, who are all named on there, are eligible to play.
Well, given the current non-homegrown player restrictions Tottenham have to deal with, as well as the limited funds available, they could actually add to their U21 player list this month if they wanted to bring players in.
Potential arrivals under the age of 21 would still be free to play in the Premier League for the Lilywhites and it wouldn't matter if they were homegrown or not, as is the case with Gedson.
Certainly an option for Spurs, it would give both Mourinho and Daniel Levy to chance to plan for the coming years by bringing in some talented youngsters that could play a part for the club going forward.
Spurs' high number of foreign players at the club does need addressing sooner rather than later as Mourinho won't want it to be an issue every year in terms of adding to his squad and also naming one for league and European competition.
Asked by football.london at his press conference on Friday about the foreign player issue and whether it needs to be addressed in the summer, Mourinho claimed that "it's not possible" to resolve it in just the one season.
"I'm not even thinking of repercussions in relation to the transfer window, but the reality is that it was not easy to leave Gazzaniga out, but no other option," said the head coach.
"Would be great for Joe Rodon's development to play in the Europa League. We've played already nine matches in the Europa League and if Joe was available to play these nine matches he would have for sure have played in three, four, five or six of them and would help of course in his development and adaptation.
"So it's not an easy situation. Then how can you have more English players? English players from the academy. Then you have to basically try to help the academy, but at the same time you depend on their work, you depend on generation, you depend on talent.
"And, honestly, I don't know if I should say it or not, the players that I feel are more talented in the academy are not the eldest ones. They are very young. We are speaking about kids of 16-year-old, we are not speaking about 18 or 19, let's say men that just need the last push. I feel that the biggest talents are very, very young.
"Of course we have to help in their development in collaboration with the academy but we have to wait a little bit more.
"English players from other clubs, they want to keep them, because normally all of them they have the same kind of problems or potentially they have the same kind of problems. So it's not easy, it's not an easy situation and clearly it's not a situation that you can resolve in one season. It's not possible."
